Qui-Gon Jinn moaned again, as full consciousness came to him. He awoke with the world's worst headache. He tried to open his ice-blue eyes, but found the brightest light he had ever experienced. Someone came into the room at that moment. How he knew that, Qui-Gon didn't know.

"You've awakened, my Prince," the voice said.

"Mmmmm?" Qui-Gon asked.

"You had a horrible blow to the head, that horrible Jedi Master. I'll go get your parents."

The voice left. Qui-Gon was puzzled. How did he know that there was a man in the room to begin with? He tried to think, but he was met with a pounding headache. He had no idea what that man meant by a Jedi Master, but it gave him a warm feeling when he said that. When he said parents, Qui-Gon got a chill. He couldn't remember anything past waking up. The only thing he could remember was his name.

Qui-Gon finally opened his eyes fully. He found himself in a hospital room of some sorts but is decorated so fancifully. It was nothing like he'd ever seen before. Did that mean his parents are rich? Qui-Gon had no clue. Two figures chose that moment to walk into the door. A man and women, who were dressed far fanciful than he had ever seen, and they were being followed by 8 guards. Who were these people? Did he know them? Do they know him?

"Qui-Gon?" the man asked.

For the first time, Qui-Gon was able to speak, "Yes?"

"Thank the Force you've awakened," replied the woman.

"Who are you?" asked Qui-Gon.

The man and woman looked absolutely shocked. "That Jedi Master pushed you into a brick wall, and caused you to lose your memory!" The woman said.

Qui-Gon immediately spoke, "That doesn't answer my question. Who are you?"

"We're your parents, Qui-Gon. You are the prince of this planet, Mayim." the man replied.

"If I'm a prince, and you're my parents, that would make you the." he paused for a moment, "the king and queen!"

"That's right, my son," the lady, his mother replied, offering her hand.

Qui-Gon felt that something didn't feel right. Yet somehow he knew that these people were telling him the truth, but he didn't know how he knew. He did the only thing someone could do in his position, [i] he took his mother's hand.[/i] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "What do you mean he's scheduled to be put to death?" asked Adi Gallia.

"Yes, Ma'am. We've already tried him. He was found guilty of attempted murder and kidnapping," the man at the jail said.

"Not fair, this is." Master Yoda replied.

"How can you try a man, without the man being there?" asked Adi.

"Very easily and we did it. King Nuri's orders."

"You follow everything Nuri and Sarina say?"

The man replied angrily. "Yes, and I can have you thrown in jail for degrading the King and Queen."

Adi could see that this was getting nowhere. She decided to change the subject. "Has Prince Benjamin been found yet?"

The man looked like he was going to jump her. "If it makes you happy, no. The only thing known to the authorities at this time is that he landed here a few days ago."

[i]"Go, we shall."[/i] Master Yoda said in her head.

Adi bowed. "Thank you for your time, sir."

Both Jedi Masters left the building. "Something is not right here." Adi said.

Master Yoda gave a look that said, [i] you just stated the obvious.[/i]

"Call Coruscant, I will." replied Yoda.

"I guess I'll try to find Qui-Gon." Adi replied.

Adi turned around and went down the street. If she would have turned her head to the left she would have seen a very familiar ex-padawan.

Carlton led Benjamin down the street. Ben felt a pull on his mind. He dismissed it as his imagination running away with him. He had no clue where his uncle was leading him too. The only thing he knew was that the closer they got to wherever they were going, he felt a terribly familiar presence that was distorted somehow, but the same. Ben knew that was impossible, for the presence had to be half way across the galaxy, right.? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
